Three-Dimensional General Solutions of Orthorhombic Quasicrystals With Constraints

Abstract

This study employs the Lur'e operator method to derive generalized solutions for orthorhombic quasicrystals, incorporating anisotropy factors as constraints. The solutions derived contain the Lekhnitskii–Hu–Nowacki and Elliott–Lodge solutions as special cases. The corresponding fundamental solutions or Green's functions within the infinite space are also derived, offering a comprehensive characterization of quasicrystal anisotropy. It is noteworthy that Green's functions in orthorhombic quasicrystals can be simplified to those in hexagonal quasicrystals or conventional orthorhombic crystals, with possible broad engineering applications.
